We’re honored that you trust us to care for your pet. So we can work together as efficiently as possible for your pet’s health and well-being, here’s some information that can help us both:
While a referral from your primary care veterinarian is not required, it is always preferred so that together, we can work as a health care team.
Completing these steps is the quickest way to ensure we receive everything needed before your appointment.
Our team will then contact you to set up the appointment. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation directly, please call us at 804.368.6848. We’re here to help.
Please complete our new patient information form in advance so we have all the information we need to deliver the best possible care to your pet.
Also, our team will let you know if your pet needs to fast before your appointment.
Please bring all the medications and any prescription food that your pet is currently receiving.
If we need you to bring anything else, we’ll let you know ahead of time.
Your pet’s initial consultation will include a thorough hands-on neurological examination, then the neurologist will discuss his findings and recommended next steps. This typically involves consideration for advanced testing such as an MRI; however, it could involve a more conservative approach with a trial of medications.
We’ll discuss the plan and related costs of care and take the time to answer any questions you may have. Please allow at least an hour for this first appointment.
For your convenience, Independence Veterinary Neurology accepts the following methods of payment:
Pet health insurance can help offset the cost of care. Plans vary widely, so please investigate your options carefully. Please note that all providers require insurance to be in place prior to need.
